The remaining swatches of the new Chanel Allure Velvet collection: Rose Exubérant 519

Comments
Hasta la vista, Laqueristas!

The one remaining new Chanel polish from the Allure Velvet Collection: Rose Exubérant 519. Here are some swatches and a comparison
Chanel Rose Exubérant 519
Bottle comparison to Splendeur
Chanel Rose Exubérant vs. Splendeur
Splendeur is a cooler toned pink, whereas Rose Exubérant is a tad warmer. A muggle won't see the difference. Both colors applied like a dream, one coat could do (if you weren't to take macro pics. I applied 2 coats)

Amazing formula and I love the suturated-ness of these shades. Love love.

Swatches new Chanel polish: Rouge Allure Velvet collection

Comments
Dear Lacqueristas,

You may have already seen the brand new Chanel matte lipstick collection. Awesome colors in a creamy matte texture. Together with these Allure Velvet lipsticks, a small matching nail polish collection was released. I already fell in love with two of them. Today I show you Pirate and Rose Caché:


Chanel Pirate
Pirate is a stunning deep raspberry, blue toned red jelly. This polish is so incredibly shiny that I wasn't able to make any pics without crazy glare.

Chanel Rose Chaché, in daylight but colors seem to be a tad washed out

Chanel Rose Caché in artificial light, colors sem more accurate
Rose Caché is a nude beige/pink. I fell head over heels with this shade, it is so pretty and feminine and I have recieved many compliments. I also enjoyed the matte version a lot, it kinda looks as if my nails were made of skin. (eewww? No, in a good way)
Rose Caché reminds me of OPI Dulce de Leche exept for the secret shimmer that Rose Chaché is full of (in the bottle). I do not own OPI DdL but here's a comparison with Barefoot in Barcelona

Left to right: RC, BiB, RC, BiB
Secret Shimmer... Metallic fuchsia shimmer
 Here are some bonus pics:

Chanel Rose Cache
Mattified: pinky=OPI BiB, ring=RC, Middle=BiB, index=RC
Chanel Pirate mattified
A note on th eChanel velvet topcoat: the quality is extraordinary. It seems to be velvetty and smoother whereas traditional matte topcoats can be chalky or streaky. Will do a full review soon.

Have you seen these new Chanel polishes yet? How do you like them? And what is your favorite polish ever to mattify?

Hasta la vista, Laqueristas!

Some HEMA polish swatches

Comments
Dear Lacqueristas,

Have a look at these affordable pretties:

Hema  #13

Hema  #13
Hema #13 is a warm toned nude. Not particularly flattering my skin tone but a gorgeous shade nonetheless. A semi sheer sandy nude with a hint of peach, loaded with glass flecks. The only downside is that it applies a tad streaky as you can see in the second picture.

Hema Wetlook #3
Hema Wetlook #3 is a pink sheer polish. The name Wetlook made me expect a jelly texture but this polish is comparable to your average Essie sheer formula and not a juicy jelly. The finish is very shiny though. I love colors like these, they fit my Palate Cleanser bill.

Do you own HEMA polishes? What are your favorites?
